This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.
Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':
STR:
0. Create a simple elisp file that installs an ELPA package (example
below).
1. Compile the file from the command line using "emacs --batch".
2. Check the exit status of the command, notice it is non-zero (255).
The simple elisp file used for testing has the contents:
(eval-and-compile
(require 'package)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'org))
The file is compiled from the command line using the command:
$ emacs --batch --eval '(byte-compile-file "test.el")'; echo $?
After lots of compilation output, eventually you'll see the output:
Selecting deleted buffer
Wrote /home/jon/.emacs.d/ac-comphist.dat
255
Where 255 is the exit status.
When this elisp file is compiled as part of a Makefile, this causes the
build to fail, reducing automation.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

Why eval-and-compile?
Anyway, I think the issue can be summarized as:
cat /tmp/foo.el:
(eval-and-compile
(byte-compile-file "/tmp/bar.el"))
cat /tmp/bar.el:
(message "hi")
emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el
Wrote /tmp/bar.elc
>>Error occurred processing foo.el: error (("Selecting deleted buffer"))
Recursive byte-compilation trips over itself trying to use
a single " *Compiler Input*" buffer.
(package-install byte-compiles what it installs.)

I have one init.el that I share across many installations of Emacs.
There are several third party packages in repositories that I rely on.
When I pass the init.el to a new Emacs installation, I build it using a
Makefile. My goal is to byte compile the init.el file and install all
required third party packages.
I want to avoid passing around the init.el file *and* the third party
packages. I prefer to rely on the repository for an up to date version
of the package. This way I avoid tracking all packages individually.
I figured build time was the best time to download, compile and install
these packages. This is why I use eval-and-compile.
I am probably not the first person to consider doing this. And so my
approach may be off. If there is a more direct or better approach to
handle this please let me know.

I still don't see the need for the eval-and-compile. Why not compile it
(leaving aside the fact that compiling ~/.emacs is a waste of time IMO),
then load it?
Anyway, I installed a fix.
